But when you need an embeddable chart, you need to turn to online applications that let you create your desired graph and then generate its embeddable code.

Such online apps normally offer only a single type of chart. For instance there might be a site dedicated to creating pie charts and another dedicated to create line plots.

Simply click on a thumbnail to start editing that graph type. You can also choose to view all the graph types and select your desired chart from that list.

With your chart selected, you can enter details for it. These details include data points, graph size, title, style of data, margins, and colors. These options also vary from one graph type to another.
